Download and Install Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 2

If you decide to try ubuntu raring ringtail Beta 2, I recommend doing it in a virtual machine (VirtualBox or VMware) or disk clean, because there are problems with the installer. What I can to update using the instructions supplied Canonical although less sense update a branch with a beta.

If you’re running daily builds of Ubuntu 13.04 you don’t need to do anything special to get the beta – as long as you’re up-to-date, you’re using it
